Retail Therapy: Post Christmas Sales

{ Via: Tiffany LaBelle }

Are you shopped out by now? I must say that I really never get tired of shopping. Doing it via the Internet is just so easy and relaxing, especially with a glass of vino in hand. In fact, I only purchased one holiday gift in person, and that store was the Kate Spade Boutique, a two minute walk away. So I am feeling fresh as a daisy, and never can resist a really good sale.  Here are 22 of my favorite sales. Enjoy wrapping up the year with a beautiful bargain.

Foodie Friday: Celebrating With Champagne

How is this year over with already? For me personally, it wasn't a bad year, but it wasn't the best either. In my mind, each year needs to be celebrated.  It's a chance to remember the good times, learn from the bad ones, and toast to the possibilities of the New Year. No matter how you spend NYE, try to make it special. This last recipe roundup of the year features my favorite, champagne and sparkling wine. If you are home alone, watch a movie and treat yourself to Champagne Carmel Popcorn. Looking to impress? Try the Sparkling Chocolate Truffle Champagne Cake. Cheers to you, my friends! Have a sparkling NYE.

HERE: 16 Celebration Worthy Recipes

Blood Orange Champagne Mule

These are your basic Moscow Mules but with the addition of champagne and blood oranges. Aren't they beautiful?

Half Baked Harvest

Oysters Rockefeller

Could there be a sexier, more sophisticated or celebratory dish than oysters? Any way you fix them, they say "celebration." This classic recipe will get the party started.

Gourmet Traveller

Prime Rib Roast with Horseradish  Champagne Cream Sauce

This picture perfect dish is NYE perfection! The sauce calls for Champagne Vinegar. But if you are celebrating, use the real thing.

Food and Wine

Champagne Risotto

I made risotto for the first time this year. Have to say, it was a huge success, but it didn't have champagne in it....just lobster. This is a must make soon.

Heather Christo

Fizzy Sorbet Cocktail

I think that I would serve this as dessert. This recipe had to included, because it is just too pretty not to.

Delish

Creamy Champagne Lobster & Prawn Pasta

Now this is a celebration in a bowl! Get the delicious recipe

at......

Wild Orchard

Chocolate Champagne Truffles

This recipe is proof that you don't have to be a chocolatier to make truffles at home. Even my sweet Mom made truffles, and she was not a fancy cook. You can get the edible gold flakes in time for NYE at Amazon.

Key Ingredient

Citrus And Avocado Salad With Champagne Vinaigrette

Why serve a regular tossed salad on the last day of the year, when you can serve this beauty? Supplement dinner with a punch of Champagne vinegar (which is made with the same grapes).

Foodie Crush

Champagne Alfredo with Crispy Prosciutto and Shrimp 

Doesn't this just sound special? Champagne makes this dish bubble, but the little bit of starchy pasta water adds the real magic to the sauce. MMMMM!

Food52

Champagne Caramel Popcorn

My evening could begin and end with this recipe. We received an Air Popper for Christmas. This is going to happen next week.

How Sweet Eats

Chicken Au Champagne 

A restaurant quality meal made with champagne in a cast iron pan. This recipe looks quite doable for the average cook.

Cooking With Curls

Champagne Macarons

Oh go ahead and show off a little. Aren't these a

 beautiful bite?

Eats Well With Others

The Well Stocked Bar For NYE

From basics to how much champagne to stock. Find expert tips here.

Williams Sonoma

Almond Champagne Poached Pears With Almond Whipped Cream

Gluten Free

I am not a big pear or fruit person, but these look super elegant. Not to mention that they are made with almond champagne! I have a feeling that any type of champs would do nicely.

Bright Eyed Baker

Blackberry Champagne Punch

A chic cocktail that is pretty and packs a punch of holiday spirit. Said to be super easy to 

throw together.

How Sweet Eats

Sparkling Chocolate Truffle Champagne Cake

I have saved the best for last. This decadent cake has my name (and yours) all over it.

Foodie Friday: Christmas Dinner, Drinks & Desserts

Saturdays At Shop This: Being Present

{ Via: ZsaZsa Bellagio }

Apologies for being missing in action, but Ms. Shop This came to town and brought that wonderful fiancé of hers, Steve. Like you, I have been busy in the best of ways. Christmas for most of us, is about finding the perfect "present." But my daughter taught me a lovely lesson this week. She asked me to  just "Be Present," for Christmas. Apparently I worked too much over Thanksgiving, and she felt my absence, even though I was here every moment. If we look within, we'll find that all of us just want to "be" with our loved ones. What's inside those beautiful boxes is a bonus. The best Christmas gift of all, is giving of ourselves. So that's where I have been, and will be until December 28th. Here's some last minute links I think you'll love.

We'll begin with one of the best Holiday Shipping deals of all. Neiman Marcus is offering Free Overnight Delivery if ordered by Noon today. Use Code: NMQuick.
 Thank's Neiman's!

Another helpful service comes to us from Nordstrom. If you are near a brick and mortar store, Order on line and pick it up at the store, with curbside delivery. You don't even have to get outside of the car. This service begins at 8:00 AM and goes through December 24th.

So Meg's Steve wants to make up Mulled Wine for Christmas. This recipe sounds perfect, especially with the extra shot of Liqueur. 
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
And lastly, speaking of wine. The Ullo Wine Purifier is what to gift your favorite wine afficiando. I have been using it for 9 months. It's fabulous for filtering out the perservatives and sulphites that are in wine. It also aerates your wine, if you wish. Amazon Prime will get it to you before Christmas.

May your holiday sparkle, and your heart be filled with the love of family and friends.
Merry-Kissmas
